growing interaction between:
a) intersectoral and sectoral dialogue in both directions
- telework sectoral > intersect.- violence & harassment intersect. > sectoral
- towards soft law outcomes
a) between the sectors
- crystalline sillica (15 sect. EMP and 2 EIF)- best value codes (textiles, cleaning, private security, catering)
Level linkages at EU level
Votre présentationLevel linkages at EU level
c) sectoral and company level
- EIF = important actors at both levels- similar topics in European sectoral dialogue and EFAs
~ social dialogue, health and safety- crystalline sillica > more multi-sectoral agreements ?
d) company > company
- EWC agreements important mutual learning exercise > EFAs
Votre présentationLevel linkages: EU > national level
a) intersectoral and national level
- soft versus hard law implementation
- autonomy vs. heteronomy
Level linkages: EU > national level
b) EU sectoral and national sectoral level
- multi-actor and -level diversity
- coordination with national members
~ heterogeneity of perimeters~ heterogeneity of roles
defining a common interest not only represents a difficulty between TU and EMP, but
also involves much intra-organisational negotiation

Votre présentationConclusions
a) social dialogue at intersectoral and sectoral level
cornerstone of the EU system of industrial relationscornerstone of the EU system of industrial relations
established actors at intersectoral level ‘moving’ actors at sectoral level solid legal framework (art. 138/139 EC)
multi-level and multi-actor politity deliberative, mutual learning processes shift towards soft law outcomes growing synergies and level linkages at EU level
certain linkage gaps between EU and national level
Votre présentationConclusions
b) transnational dialogue at company level
stable actors on EMP side, variable on TU side (GUF, EIF, EWC, nat.TU, nat. WC)
no legal framework at international or EU level limited impact on suppliers and subsidiaries limited impact beyond Europe
IFAs/EFAs reflect traditions of European IR
concentrated in social market economies with collective interest representation
